“Письмо раздваивает объекты собственного исследования. Создавая параллельную реальность текста, мы понемногу теряем интерес к реальности, отходим от нее все дальше. Чудесный простор различия - добавочная стоимость по отношению к миру. Эта книга производит не только новую историю, не только новую тебя - но и новую меня.”
Дарья Трайден, Грибные места

Olivia Laing
“What he [Pasolini] sees is how we all turn a blind eye to evil because we are comfortable and we want to stay that way. We are sleepwalkers like the children in Salo' are sleepwalkers. He attacks modernity, he puts it on trial. He thinks consumerism is a new fascism because there is so much vilence hidden inside it, because it destroys nature and natural behaviour.”
Olivia Laing, The Silver Book

Arundhati Roy
“I wasn't Christian enough.
I wasn't Hindu enough.
I wasn't communist enough.
I wasn't enough.

It came as a relief. It liberated me and set me walking. For years after that I wandered through forests and river valleys, villages and border towns, to try to better understand my country. As I travelled, I wrote. That was the beginning of my restless, unruly life as a seditious, traitor-writer,

Free woman, Free writing. Like Mother Mary taught me.

I hadn't just avoided the gilded cage. I had blown it to smthereens.”
Arundhati Roy, Mother Mary Comes to Me

“I realize that I am fascinated by photos in the same way I've been fascinated, since childhood, by blood, semen and urine stains on sheets, or old matresses, discarded on pavements; by the stains of wine or food embedded in the wood of sideboards, the stains of coffee or greasy fingers on old letters - the most material and organic kinds of stains. I realize that I expect the same thing from writing. I want words to be like stains you cannot tear yourself away from.”
Annie Ernaux and Marc Marie

Lea Ypi
“My grandmother always said that we don't know how to think about the future; we must turn to the past. I started to wonder about the story of my life, of how I was born, of how things were before I was there. I tried to check back on details I might have got confused, too young to remember them correctly. It was a story I had heard countless times before; the story of a fixed reality in which I had gradually found my part, however complicated. This time it was different. This time, there were no fixed points, everything had to be remade from scratch. The story of my life was not the story of the events that had occurred in any particular period but the story of searching for the right questions, the questions I had never thought to ask.”
Lea Ypi, Free: A Child and a Country at the End of History
